Baby shower… part Deux

Here are pictures from the Kemmerer shower.
This is a cake Sister Backman from my ward made…isn’t it adorable? I love the colors…it has swaddling blankets, diapers, toys, lotion, baby spoons, baby powder, socks, onsies…I was almost a little worried I’d find a little baby hiding in there…CREEPY!!!

We played some games…here’s one where everyone was supposed to draw baby Max on a plate whilst balanced on their head. Here’s Kristi and cute little Arianne Dearden.

The winner was Jill Allen. I got to be the judge and while they were all great, I was impressed with Jill’s detail…the baby not only has eyes (which are shedding tears) and a mouth, but also has a diaper and booties on…that’s pretty extraordinary!!

We also played the diaper game where you have to figure out what candy bar is mashed inside the diapers…they do look pretty realistic, don’t you think?!? It was pretty disturbing…after the shower, our friends’ daughter was riffling through the diapers with her hands and eating the remnants….she was way too young to understand the game…she was going on pure instincts …SICK!!!!

This is Emily Sandel looking WAY too eager to smell the poop-y diaper!!!  She couldn’t stop laughing when she thought about how Eric had told her a story about being a nursery leader. Someone had asked him to find out which child had soiled their diaper. Eric, having seen many a parent deliberately and whole-heartedly shove their nose into the bum of a baby, followed suit…well, first try, he got the winner and could not stop gagging for quite a few minutes. Emily’s consolation is that it doesn’t smell as bad when it’s your own… that’s what we’re counting on!!!

All in all, it was a great shower and we had lots of fun, food, games, laughs…thanks to all of those who came and who helped make it so great!!! (Cindy, Sis. Connelly, Kristy…you ladies rock!!!!).
